Princess Charlotte Braves the Cold (and the World) in Colored Tights

Welcome to "Who Won Fashion Today," where we award the boldest, best dressed person of the day. Winning fashion doesn't necessarily mean you're wearing the most expensive, trendiest, or prettiest dress. Rather, we reward risk-takers—those that stay true to their personal style and make us go, "Now THAT is a LEWK.”

The holidays can be a very stressful time to pick out an outfit. You're in front of your entire family, or all those people from high school that haven't seen you in, like, ten years ... or, there's the terrible instance of when you are in front of the entire world. Here you are, just tryin' to go to church on Christmas Day and BOOM! There are the paparazzi waiting for you, your parents, and your older brother.

We assume Princess Charlotte thought about this scenario in advance. Some questions she might have asked herself:

4. Is there a way for me to express my individual style, but still be refined?

P.C. accomplished it all.

Her coat perfectly complemented that of her brother's, but had a feminine flair and shorter sleeves, allowing the maroon cuffs of her outfit underneath to peek through. And speaking of maroon, let's talk about those tights. Because those, my friend, are what makes this outfit. P.C. didn't shy away from adding a little pop. She embraced color—and a festive color at that—finding a way to keep herself warm and stylish at the same time. And the whole thing was topped off with a pretty princess bow. That type of coordination wins.

On Easter Sunday, Middleton made her last public appearance before giving birth to her third child. The Duchess of Cambridge attended services at St. George's Chapel in a deep brown coat, a matching fascinator, and her go-to nude pumps.
